Struggling Kırklarelispor will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Sancaktepe Belediye in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

The hosts Kırklarelispor saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Turkish Cup. That game was an away game at Istanbul Basaksehir, so at least Kırklarelispor are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Sancaktepe Belediye have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 14-10-11 (win-draw-loss) from 35 matches.
